Christmas Party Fashion Inspiration

When it comes to Christmas, we Brazilians do things a little differently. We celebrate it both on the 24th, when we have a sit down meal at around 11pm and wait up until midnight to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, as well as on the actual day when we eat again and again and again and exchange our Secret Santa and other gifts. Christmas Eve is usually spent with a larger number of friends, and it is when we dress up like we are about to walk down the red carpet (I kid you not), whereas on the 25th I am happy to spend the entire day at home with our closest friends in cute (and comfy/stretchy may I add) pjs.

During the holidays last year, my family and I were in sunny Brazil so choosing an outfit wasn't too hard; a mini dress and a pair of sandals and I was good to go. This year the weather allows for something much more glamorous (am I the only one who thinks winter fashion is so much more chic?) and that is exactly what I am going for. I've bought 2 dresses and I simply can't decide which one to go with but these are some of my favourites when I was shopping for the one (or in this case the two).

Brazilian Christmases sound like so much fun - especially with all that food! Those mini and midi dresses are my favorite; I love anything that flares out like that. I most likely won't be attending any parties, my family usually just gathers our closest relatives and have a big dinner. Still, an excuse to dress up!

I'm in love with the short flare dresses!I'm 4'11 and little so the Black Long dresses will be like long gowns on me! LOLBut the first group of dresses was my favorite. Love your taste in fashion! Surely following you for more fashion inspired post!

Here in Argentina we have similar traditions. We get together with family to have dinner and wait til midnight and on the 25th we have lunch together. Christmas Eve is also the formal occasion here. And New Year's is more likely to be spent with friends.I love those dresses, specially the ones with sequins.Kisses!Obsessed Fashion Blog

I so agree with you - winter fashion is much much more chic. I feel like it allows us to pair more clothing together, and just put on anything we want without worrying if we're gonna be sweating our asses off. (neste momento, Portugal esta tanto calor como frio - não se decide)

From the mini dresses - I much prefer the first one.From the sequin dresses - I'm a big fan of the second one.From the black dresses - I really can't decide. They're all so so so pretty. Maybe the second. Or the third. Or all of them at different occasions.

I LOVE the lacy red Ted Baker Mahima Sequin Floral Full Skirt dress (3rd in the top row of photos)!!! I also love the black Boohoo Premium Lace Skater Dress next to it (4th). Your tradition of wearing beautiful fashion outfits on Chrtistmas Eve and comfy pyjamas Christmas Day sounds great. Love it!

So many gorgeous dresses!!! I can't even pick a favorite!Here in Argentina we celebrate just as you described so I totally get you. Although I wish i could experience a winter holiday instead of a summery Christmas too, haha. Oh, and I agree with you 100%, fashion is always more chic and sophisticated for the Fall/Winter season!xx
